[Ahh! So if two gay men could get married you'd have no problem then?]
If they married two gay women, no I have no problem with that.
Gay men marrying each other, however, would not be biblical, and biblically speaking God made marriage between male and female.
Ever wondered why God didn't make just one sex? He could have made it that way but He did not.

Biblically, there's no limit on the number of women involved in the marriage (excepting qualifications for certain leaders). Historically, the most common form of marriage is polygamy. So if we're really going to "preserve the meaning of marriage," it's time we brought back polygamy and drop the whole pretense of "love" which is only a recent addition to marriage.
Or why didn't God made a group of eight women and eight men to avoid incest, following your logic?, or why didn't God create one hundred women and one man, to respect the tradition of handmaids and polygamy?. Moreover, why did God invented homosexuality, to begin with?. Are you advocating convenience marriage?, because gay men and gay women want to marry those they love, not people of the opposite sex. Would you like to be forced to marry somebody you don't love?. In that case, your argument sinks.
Wait, isn't marriage for makin' baybeez for you guys? So why would you want a lesbian and a gay guy to get married? It's not like they'll want to have sex and have kids together.
Actually, I heard of an arrangement very similar to this.
Rebecca: Maybe that's wht MercyBurst is advocating, but then again, they could consider any form of conception outside of intercourse a 'sin'. So, who knows?
Well, following your stunning logic, then why did He make it so a penis could fit in an anus, and that a woman's fingers could fit in a vagina? Wouldn't he try to make it so that it's physically difficult for any sexual pleasure to arise from anyone of the same sex?
Marriage existed before Christianity, and even in many pagan cultures. And even your Bible promotes polygamy - so much for 'one man, one woman,' eh?
Re: Sophie
So, can I marry my father?, I mean, it's biblical too, according to Genesis. Or what is Adam to Eve?
Y'know, this one bugs me almost as much as the "Gay Marriage means we'll have to allow Pedophiles to Marry" argument.
The inequity, my dear, comes in where you're allowed to marry someone you love, and I'm not. Also, if you have a problem with two guys/girls marrying each other, don't look. Stew, rant, rave, whatever, but it is none of your business. Last, funny you should bring God up. Because what happens in my bedroom is between God myself, and the person I'm with. Not you. You don not enter into the equation in any way, shape, form or capacity. So you have no say. Deal with it.
If God hates sex so much if it's not with a person of the same gender, and if it's heterosexual, it's still not looked at fondly, then why didn't he make it so we reproduced through budding or another asexual method?
Actually, there is a species of lizard that is only female, and is still able to reproduce.
I'm a little foggy on the details. Try watching a TV show while convulsing in horror before you judge this statement, though. You ever watch 2 lizards mate? Yeah, didn't think so.
...Err....
My point is that they revealed something that's going to startle Fundies everywhere: The Y-chromosome has been steadily shrinking. It's entirely possible that this same thing could happen to humans.
Of course, Fundies don't believe in proper science, so they have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
